Bar and Citizens ons of Re-
spect.
The announcent of the death of Judge D.
II. Starbuck here last Thursday night was
a severe stroke to the community. He had
attended the meeting at the Opera House
and had made vigorous speech on the
subject of the establishment of the hospital.
An unusually deep ford hue of the com
plexion was noticed by many of those pres
emit when he was speaking After the meet
ing he returned home and was seated in his
room for some time reading. and was heard
to cough several times. While sitting there
his head suddenly dropped back and he ex-
pired in a few seconds. He had been sub
ject to heart diseose for some time and it
was feared that sudden attack of this fatal
and insidious enemy would some day
take his life. As a mark of respect Court
adjourned at IL o'clock Saturday, and the
members of the Bar and the citizents of
Winston-Salem assembled in the Court
House to draw up resolutions and express
their honor and appreciation for one of our
most public spirited citizens.
